I did it for a while with my husband, we bought 2 40lb CAP Barbell sets and a doorway pull up bar. For the weights we waited until Amazon had a good deal (the price seems to fluctuate cyclically). We also bought some mats/flooring to put on the carpet (didn't want it to smell and felt like it's a better surface for working out). This is what we got (http://amzn.com/B001EJPGPA)
At least for me so far changing the weight hasn't been that big of a problem, maybe it's because for most things I use the ligtest disks anyway and I just adjust the number of reps I do.
I know egg crate foam like /u/YouHadTimeToWaste suggested is popular for DIY soundproofing. You could also just buy tiles which are meant for the purpose
I'd also suggest doing something like this to pad the floor, both for the kids' safety and for soundproofing. You could also lay rugs over that if you feel like it.
You could also keep some blankets and pillows out for fort building.
